FR

Cet article porte sur le rôle du droit dans la régulation du marché de l’énergie. La justice et la solidarité dans ce domaine exigent un débat qui ne doit pas être fragmenté mais doit au contraire se dérouler de manière interdisciplinaire. La question clé qui se pose concerne le rôle que le droit devrait jouer dans le domaine de la transformation énergétique, et donc, s’il devrait être seulement un outil pour la mise en œuvre des plans politiques et des stratégies d’action, ou s’il devrait, en lui-même, stimuler ou déterminer le cadre de la transition, ou être un régulateur de la transformation. L’article aborde certains problèmes liés à la gestion de la demande, à la décroissance, à la pauvreté énergétique, aux initiatives «Not In My Back Yard» (NIMBY) et aux contrats pour les différences (CfD), afin d’appeler à la recherche et à la coopération interdisciplinaires dans ce contexte.

This article pertains to the role of law in regulating the energy market. Justice and solidarity in this area require a debate that should not be fragmented but must, instead, take place in an interdisciplinary manner. The key question that arises relates to the role that the law should play in the area of energy transformation, and thus, whether it should only be a tool for the implementation of political plans and action strategies, or whether it should, in itself, stimulate or determine the transition framework, or be a regulator of transformation. The article tackles selected problems related to Demand Side Management (DSM), de-growth, energy poverty, Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) initiatives and Contracts for Differences (CfD), in order to call for interdisciplinary research and cooperation in this context.
